Stonific⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 82| D

16/1

Dual winner already this term and firmly back on track when third under a typically patient ride at Redcar last time. Not discounted.

Form: 451103

Sassie^t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: P Hanagan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 80| CD

12/1

Won on soft ground over C&D from a 1lb lower mark around a similar time last year and shaped as if back in top form when fourth to Frankenstella at Redcar 8 days ago. Bold bid expected.

Form: 351-604

(12)

Red Royalist^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: D C Costello| T: S Edmunds| OR: 80

7/1

Strong-travelling second at this track on latest Flat outing and has proved he's still in top form with a good effort over hurdles since, so looks a big player in a race that should suit.

Form: 242-322

(13)

Aldreth^p⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-12| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 78| D

50/1

Saved for this track nowadays and showed that some ability remains when third over C&D on reappearance, though probably not quite enough to defy his current mark.

Form: 17/002-3

Mr Chua^p,t⁴^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: M Scudamore| OR: 73| D

5/2

Progressive on the Flat and showed a good attitude to complete a double at Lingfield 4 days ago. Might struggle to pull off front-running tactics at this track, however.

Form: 343211

Blue Hussar²¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-11| J: Billy Garritty⁽⁵⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 77| CD

40/1

Course winner who was in excellent form over hurdles in the winter. Back on the Flat after 7 months off.

Tynecastle Park²⁰⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Selma Grage⁽⁷⁾| T: R Eddery| OR: 73| D

66/1

Last seen winning at Southwell 6 months ago but this looks much tougher away from his favoured surface against race-fit rivals.

Form: 1221-21

(14)

New Society^p¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: J D Bethell| OR: 72

50/1

Well treated on what he did last season and, while he's not fired yet this season, he probably wasn't ideally suited by very testing conditions at Catterick last time.

Form: 6239/67

(15)

Kensington Art^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70| D

50/1

Gained some reward for consistency when scoring at Ripon in July but followed it with a poor display and needs more to defy this mark.

Form: 4-46218

Well Funded¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: J D Bethell| OR: 70

6/1

Ticking over nicely this season, keeping on at one pace when fourth at Beverley 19 days ago. The softer the better for her, though, so needs a bit more rain.

Form: 5-64534

(11)

Whiskey And Water³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 68WS

28/1

Arrives on the back of a poor run over fences but, prior to that, had shaped as if retaining plenty of ability under both codes this term, so not totally ruled out from a handy mark.

Form: 6/2224-5

(9)

Frankenstella^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 77| D

10/3

Steadily progressive sort who seemed to relish the mud when grinding her way to the front at Redcar last time. More to come if the race doesn't come too soon, so obvious claims.

Form: 6-42131

(5)

Kaizer¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A C Whillans| OR: 62| D

6/1

Bounced back and proved his stamina for this trip when a strong-finishing second in testing ground at Musselburgh last time. More galloping track should play to his strengths.

Form: 5416-02

(16)

Shine Baby Shine¹⁸⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 8-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: P A Kirby| OR: 60| D

100/1

Ran poorly back in this code in first-time cheekpieces when 20 lengths last of 14 to Nearly There in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 16/1) in March. Needs to get back on track after a break.

Forecasts

Mr Chua (5/2), Frankenstella (10/3), Kaizer (6/1), Well Funded (6/1), Red Royalist (7/1), Tribal Commander (8/1), Sashenka (10/1), Sassie (12/1), Stonific (16/1), Whiskey And Water (28/1), Blue Hussar (40/1), Kensington Art (50/1), Aldreth (50/1), New Society (50/1), Tynecastle Park (66/1), Shine Baby Shine (100/1)

SASSIE was behind Frankenstella at Redcar last time but didn't have a hard race and makes plenty of appeal having scored at this track last autumn. The latter-named is going the right way and looks an obvious danger along with Red Royalist, who shaped well at this course on his latest Flat outing.
